Hi,

I don't know the hours of opperation for tech support off the top of
my head, but if you're having this problem you might be able to get it
changed over the phone.  I had to do it a few years ago because I
needed it changed but didn't have a computer to gain access to do it
myself.  Their tech support is really helpful about stuff like that
and if you mention what you're experiencing to them while you've got
them on the phone then they'll most likely get right to fixing the web
page.  I don't think you'll be able to get ahold of them by phone till
Monday, but you can try.
